proceeded in the direction of the gun fire. At 12.55 hrs., the Police patrol
arrived at house # 59 on Stadium Street
and saw the barrel of a rifle sticking out of the window of the house directed
towards the street. The officers were not able to see who was holding the rifle
because of the windows curtains. The Team Leader of the AB-1 Patrol requested a

FOLLOW-UP REPORT # 1
Reference is made to the case of shooting

the AB-1 Patrol loudly gave the verbal command to whoever was in the house to
throw the rifle out of the window and walk slowly out of the house with their hands
up in the air. No sound or movement came from the house and the rifle remained
in the same position. The Team Leader
warned the gunman that if he did not follow the previously given verbal
command, the police would open fire. Again, there was no response from inside
of the house. Upon consultation with the Commander of the RRPS, the Team Leader
reported the situation through the chain of command requesting permission to force
their way into the house.
FOLLOW-UP REPORT # 2
Reference is made to the case of
shooting at 59 Stadium Street
on 14 March 2005. At 13.40 hrs, the backup unit began an operation. A few seconds prior to the operation, the RRPS
used sound and flash grenades. Three teams simultaneously stormed the house
from different sides: two officers broke through the windows facing a back
yard, two officers rushed into the building through the eastern side of the
house, and another three officers got access to the interior of the house
through the western window. During the operation, police faced no resistance. As
the police entered the house, they observed that nobody was inside. The rifle
was resting on the window of the living room with the barrel pointing towards
the street and the butt of the rifle was held on by an armchair.. The RRPS
didn’t find any residents while conducting an additional quick search of the
house. In total Police found one 12-mm hunter’s rifle, two empty bullet cases

Reference is made to the case of
shooting at 59 Stadium Street
on 14 March 2005. After the departure of the RRPS at 14.20 hrs, the AB-1 Patrol

They managed to take a statement from a Serbian woman namely Gordana Bashich
living in that house at 59 Stadium
Street . She provided details of the shooting
incident and notified police that her neighbor, Branko Ilich, male Serb, 45-year
old, was kidnapped.
Some time later, the patrol unit
heard on the radio, that a black Volkswagen Passat sedan with passengers had
been stopped at a Kosovo Force (KFOR) check point near the airport. During the
vehicle examination, check point military staff found one unconscious man in
the trunk laying in a puddle of blood. An additional search revealed three

NARRATIVE
Referring to the case of
shooting at 59 Stadium Street on 14 March 2005, Police Patrol Team AB-1 knocked
on the door of the neighboring house. After approximately 10 minutes, an elderly
woman, namely Gordana Bashich, opened the door. She said that initially she did
not want to open the door because she was afraid of the gunfire in the vicinity
of her house. She stated that she lived alone, as her husband had been killed
last year, and her son was in Austria with his family now. The Police officers
introduced themselves, and the woman invited them in. Gordana stated that
approximately at 12.30 hrs, when cooking lunch, she heard a car stop on the
road between her and Branko Ilich’s house. She looked through the window
curtains and saw a black car with three men in it. They were calling for the
neighbor. Gordana saw all three of them clearly when they got out of the car. They
all had a muscular build and were all in black uniforms with black panther
emblems on their sleeves; two were wearing black hats while the third one did
not but instead, his grey hair was visible. One of the men wearing a hat had a distinctly
strong accent while he spoke. Branko replied that he did not want to talk to
them and told them to go away. The
visitors ordered him to come with them to repair their vehicles, otherwise they
would kill him. A few minutes later, she heard two shots coming from Branko’s
house. Those three men returned fire and she heard her neighbor, Branko
screaming. When the gunfire ended, she stated that she saw those men placing
Branko into the trunk of their car. He seemed unconscious, and Gordana also
noticed that he was wounded and that his right shoulder was bleeding. The car
departed and the witness was sure that they had driven towards the airport. Gordana
thought that those perpetrators wanted Branko to repair their vehicles because he
was a good automobile mechanic, which he refused to do. The witness added that for the last three
months unknown armed people in uniforms had been looting the nearby houses and
terrorizing the Serbian neighborhood. She also informed that her neighborhood was
scared and felt insecure because they did not believe the local authorities,
including the police, could protect them. She knew that some families had
already fled the area and gone to Serbia seeking shelter with their relatives. The
AB-1 Team Leader reported the received details to the Duty Officer at the
Police Station and assured Gordana that UN and KFOR would be patrolling the
area more frequently.
DIALOGUE
UN Police Patrol
Team Leader (TL)
|
Good afternoon, Madam. Frankly speaking we did not
expect anybody to open their door to us. We are the UN Police Patrol and came
here because of the shooting we heard right near your house. Would you mind
talking about it?
|
Witness
|
I
was scared; that’s why I did not want to open up. But please, come in. We can
talk.
|
UN Police Patrol TL
|
Thank
you, Madam. Could you tell me something about yourself?
|
Witness
|
I
am Gordana Bashich, I am 60 years old. I was born here and have been living
here all my life.
|
UN Police Patrol TL
|
Do
you live here alone?
|
Witness
|
Yes.
My husband was killed last year, and my son with his wife and 2 kids left 5
years ago. They are living in Austria now.
|
UN Police Patrol TL
|
OK,
what happened today?
|
Witness
|
I
was cooking lunch when I heard a car stop on the road between my house and
Branko’s. It was approximately 12:30 hrs.
|
UN Police Patrol TL
|
Did
you look outside?
|
Witness
|
Of
course I did. I took a look through the window curtains and saw a black car
and three men in it calling out for Branko. I could see them when they got
out of the car.
|
UN Police Patrol TL
|
So
what did they look like?
|
Witness
|
All
three of them had a muscular build and were in black uniforms with a black
panther on their sleeves. Two were wearing black hats while the third one was
not; he had grey hair. One of the men wearing a hat was shouting to Branko in
Serbian but he had a distinctly strong accent.
|
UN Police Patrol TL
|
What
caused the shooting?
|
Witness
|
The
visitors wanted Branko to go with them but he didn't want to talk to them or
join them. He told them to leave. They started threatening him but Branko
seemed to shoot at them twice.
|
UN Police Patrol TL
|
What
do you think those people wanted from your neighbor?
|
Witness
|
Branko
is a good automobile mechanic; I guess they wanted him to repair their
vehicles.
|
UN Police Patrol TL
|
Did
the three men return fire?
|
Witness
|
Yes,
it looked that way. I heard five shots followed by Branko’s screaming. They
stopped shooting, entered the house and in a few minutes they were outside
with Branko who could hardly move. I also saw his right shoulder
bleeding.
|
UN Police Patrol TL
|
Did
the visitors take him with them?
|
Witness
|
Yes,
they opened the trunk of their car and dropped him in there. He seemed
unconscious.
|
UN Police Patrol TL
|
Did
you notice where they drove to?
|
Witness
|
I
am sure they drove toward the airport. It is the only good road here.
|
UN Police Patrol TL
|
Have
you seen those uniformed people before?
|
Witness
|
I
am not sure. But unknown armed people in uniforms have been looting the
nearby villages and terrorizing the Serbian neighborhood for the last three
months. The neighborhood is scared and feels insecure because they don't believe the local authorities,
including police, can protect them. I know that some families have already
fled the area and gone to Serbia seeking shelter with their relatives.
|
UN Police Patrol TL
|
Thank
you very much for your assistance. I will report the security situation in
your area, and I am sure that the presence of international forces will be
increased here through a greater number of patrols.
|
Witness
|
Thank
you.
